Chapter 480: Chapter 475: She Believes in Jeremy Norman’s Character

At a certain Tea House in the downtown of Capital City, the atmosphere is antique and the aroma of tea fills the air.

Jeremy Norman sits in the booth with the best view, and a waiter dressed in a traditional long dress places the tea on the table.

Jerry Jenkins opens the curtain covering the booth, takes off his white down jacket, and sits down properly on the opposite side of the table.

Looking around, Jerry smiles with interest: “I heard this Tea House is well-known nationwide. Even though the prices are high, it still consistently receives high praise. I envy your family for owning such a business.”

“There’s nothing worth envying.” Jeremy Norman emotionlessly picks up the teapot, pours himself a cup of tea in a white nephrite cup. “Even at our best, the Normans cannot compare to the Jenkins family. Your family can easily bring down our company.”

Jerry laughs awkwardly: “That’s a bit severe. When did we ever destroy your company?…”

Jeremy Norman chuckles without a word, takes out a document, and throws it in front of him: “Recently our company has been attacked. The information I collected, it all links back to your Jenkins family.”

“Young master Jenkins suddenly called me to offer help, and I believe you can indeed help me…” Jeremy Norman smiles kindly, his lips revealing a trace of sarcasm. “Because this is something you’ve done. Others may not be very helpful, but you surely can.”

…

The Tea House door opens, and guided by the waiter, Joshua Thompson arrives with Riley Wallace and Molly Walker in tow, and they head towards another booth.

“Sister-in-law.” Molly takes out a gift from her bag and hands it to Riley Wallace, “This is my wedding gift for you two.”

Riley’s face turns red at being addressed as “sister-in-law.”

“Please just call me Riley.”

Knowing Molly’s relationship with Joshua, Riley treats Molly kindly.

“The first time I saw you in the hospital, I knew you would become my sister-in-law,” Molly teases as she raises her eyebrows.

When Joshua had the car accident, Riley seemed to be joking with him, but she was actually trying to adjust his mood.

Although Riley’s unique approach of showing concern was different from others, it was precisely this difference that captured Joshua’s heart.

Moreover, if it weren’t for Riley, Molly wouldn’t have known about what happened during the competition.

“Thank you,” Riley blushes, taking a gift from her own bag and handing it to her, “Oh, I also bought you a gift. Please don’t despise it.”

Before Molly could take it, Joshua snatches the gift away. He opens the box and examines the necklace with a furrowed brow: “What kind of taste is this?”

A whole string of diamonds forms the necklace. It looks dazzling but also excessively extravagant.

Riley glares angrily at her own husband: “It’s not for you anyway.”

Molly’s face brightens when she sees the necklace.

“This is the latest full-diamond necklace from ‘Fashion Chronicle’. I heard it’s close to one hundred fifty thousand… This is… too extravagant.”

Hearing the price, Joshua’s smile widens: “Since it’s a gift from your sister-in-law, no matter how expensive it is, you have to accept it.”

Not expecting Riley to be so generous, Joshua is both touched and heartbroken. He pinches Riley’s cheek: “You are so generous huh.”

Riley swats his hand away in disgust.

“Ivy, I know you like jewelry, but I can’t afford something as valuable, so I could only think of other ways. I hope you like it.”

Molly was about to express her gratitude when she heard a familiar voice from the neighboring booth.

“Are you really willing to let her be with Michael Gallagher?”

In an instant, the atmosphere turns dead silent.

Joshua raises an eyebrow, his gaze penetrating the bamboo screen of the booth, seemingly wanting to see through the wall.

Molly’s hand resting on the table tightens slightly.

There had always been someone playing the guzheng in the Tea House. Just now, during a brief moment of rest for the musician, the voices from the neighboring booth could be heard even more clearly.

“Jeremy Norman, as long as you cooperate with me, I can help you be with Ivy Thompson and resolve the difficulties faced by your company.” Jerry Jenkins persuasively spoke, filled with confidence.

In the booth on this side, Joshua Thompson had heard everything. He suddenly stood up with clenched fists, wanting to go and beat someone up, but was firmly stopped by Riley Wallace.

Molly Walker didn’t speak and looked down calmly, her palms slightly warm.

She didn’t react.

Because she believed in Jeremy Norman’s character.

“Oh? How will you help?”

Suddenly, Jeremy Norman’s interested voice rang out.

Seeing that Jeremy Norman was hooked, Jerry’s voice carried a hint of laughter. “I won’t hide it from you. It is indeed the Jenkins family who did it, specifically, my grandfather. His ambitions aren’t limited to Capital City, but the entire Orientopia and even the whole world. He believes that the status of the Jenkins family should not be limited to just one city. Next, he may target the Leaford family, the Lewis family, or other companies and family businesses.”

“I can make grandfather let go of the Norman family, and I can also help you capture Ivy Thompson’s heart.”

“Capture her heart? How to capture it?” Jeremy Norman sneered, “Like you did with Zoey Lambert, drugging her?”

“You couldn’t even handle Zoey Lambert, so why would I believe that you can handle Molly?” Jeremy Norman stood up leisurely, looking down at Jerry Jenkins, “Don’t measure me by your dirty means, who I like is my business, and it’s not your place to dictate.”

After saying that, Jeremy Norman lifted the curtain to leave, and Jerry Jenkins bitterly said, “What about Olivia Sawyer?”

Jeremy Norman’s footsteps halted.

“Aren’t you interested in her either?” Jerry Jenkins smirked, his eyes sly, “I’ve heard that you’ve watched over her house downstairs for several nights. So, have you only discovered now that you like her? It’s a pity though; I heard she has too many suitors now and is about to start dating one of them.”

“Jeremy Norman, you are indeed a pitiful person who nobody wants, even more pathetic than me.” Jerry Jenkins sighed faintly, “Since you’re not interested in Olivia Sawyer either, I can only match her up with someone else.”

Jeremy Norman clenched his fists but did not turn around.

“Do whatever you want.”

Leaving these words, Jeremy Norman strode away.

In the booth next door, Joshua Thompson had already calmed down and was relieved by Jeremy Norman’s behavior.

Riley Wallace looked at Molly Walker with a complicated expression.

Everyone knew that Jeremy Norman had feelings for her, but they didn’t expect that he would also have his own principles.

Molly remained silent, but her thoughts wandered when she heard Jeremy Norman’s “Do whatever you want.”

Jeremy Norman had always thought he liked her, but did he really like her?

He hadn’t seen her for so many years, but the person who accompanied Jeremy was Olivia Sawyer instead.

What if Jeremy Norman truly liked Olivia Sawyer?

Then they couldn’t let Jerry Jenkins use despicable means to “matchmake” Olivia with someone else.

Jerry Jenkins sat in his original place, not leaving. He poured himself cup after cup of tea, and those who knew could see he was drinking tea, while those who didn’t would think he was drinking wine.

With a “swish” sound, the curtain was pulled open.

Joshua Thompson’s cynical face was exposed.

“What a coincidence, young Master Jenkins!” Joshua Thompson boldly sat in the chair opposite him, laughing sinisterly. “I had no idea that young Master Jenkins was interested in matchmaking!”

Seeing Joshua Thompson, Jerry Jenkins was somewhat surprised, but quickly concealed his emotions.

“I didn’t expect the third son of the Thompson family to have the habit of eavesdropping.”

Joshua Thompson symbolically dug his ear with his pinkie, his eyes slightly squinted. “I have no choice, my hearing isn’t good, but your voice is too loud, making it hard for people not to listen.”

“Young Master Jenkins always talks about matchmaking others. I wonder what method he wants to use for matchmaking?” Joshua Thompson leaned casually against a cup, crossed his long legs, and there was anger in his gaze.
